Do you really think votes, liberal or conservative, want middle of the roaders (ie: road kill)? An honest liberal vs an honest conservative, instead of all of the bought and paid for pols (both political parties) would do the US a lot of good.
" I understand your point and want to think the voters want a clear choice, but remember this is the age of the 10 second sound bite and low information voter. Image rather than substance will likely rule the day.
